Using the BluOS Controller App, select songs from popular streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, SiriusXM, from your own music library through Apple Airplay2, aptX HD Bluetooth, or even a network-connected drive or USB hard drive.

Compact Power

Bring your speakers to life with the powerful, punchy 2 x 40 watts DirectDigital amplifier in the Powernode Edge wireless streaming amplifier, able to handle hi-res, 24 bit/192 kHz files and MQA-encoded tracks with ease. Enjoy clarity in playback of everything from densely-layered heavy metal tracks to whisper-quiet dialogue in movies and TV shows.

The Bluesound Powernode Edge decodes Dolby Digital content on its own and can also be used to power the rear channel speakers of a wireless home theatre system.
